Second, that ABC News' chief political analyst -- the Fundamentally Ridiculous Matthew Dowd -- -- should finally climb so far up his own ass that hypoxia delirium would kick in and he would not only starting wandering The Internets imitating me (poorly). but literally imitating me by saying the exact thing for which he derided and blocked me just last year:

Trump fan club: "The Earth is flat"
Others: "No, it is round"
Cable News: "let's have a debate on all sides"
Others: "huh?!?!"

Of course being a fundamentally weaselly and ridiculous person, Mr. Dowd continues to pretend that there is some vast and existentially-crucial distinction between "Trump fans" and "Republicans" and that, somehow, the Limbaugh-listening, Libtard-hating, Fox News-watching bigoted meathead base of the Republican party which he helped Karl Rove rally to re-elect George W. Bush in 2004 (h/t Heather at Crooks & Liars) --

MATTHEW DOWD:...The Republican Party as we know it, the party of Ronald Reagan, the party of George W. Bush, is gone. The party now is the Donald Trump party. Eighty percent or 85 percent of the Republican voters, regardless of what the Republicans say in Washington that walk around the halls of the Capitol Hill and say what they think the Republican Party is, that party is long gone.

-- is an entirely different Limbaugh-listening, Libtard-hating, Fox News-watching bigoted meathead base than the one that elected and stands proudly behind President Stupid.

And my third birthday wish?

Well, since you asked...

Behold, a Tip Jar!

In the bonus-wish category, it was certainly delightful to see Ms. Joy Ann Reid lay waste to the Uranium One story on her teevee show.

However, having been around this block many, many times over the decades, I know enough to know that even if you restrained the average Republican voter, pried their eyes open Clockwork Orange-style and forced them to watch Ms. Reid vivisect their favorite New Lie over and over again one hundred times, it would not change their mind one iota.

They are simply too far gone to reach anymore, and it is far too late in the game to continue pretending that getting them to crawl out of their wingnut-bell-jar-full-of-Rush-Limbaugh-beer-farts and finally see reason is a viable strategy.

Now it's just a grim, flat-out, no-holds-barred foot race to see who will own our country's future: Us or Them.

I read Voltaire's "Candide" as a teenager and it was a real revelation of what political satire could be in novel form way back in the 18th century. Voltaire was awesome. As for Dowd, he's just a ridiculous poser like most cable news commentators.

Off topic. Good to see Trump-loving Mark Halperin getting smacked down.
